> Hmmmmmm....sounds as if my psydoc has been playing with you guys' psydocs! OK, I have had depression for 10+ years, and responded well to Prozac for a while. Since starting with current doc, I have "run the gamut" of the neuromeds. Mainline antidepressent has been Wellbutrin SR 150 x2 plus some benzos, which have varied from clonopin to Tranzene. Doc is calling me "depressed with OCD" he considered AADD (adult)
> for a bit, but currently I'm a 300.3 OCD (see your DSM IV). After a recent bout of REALLY low mood, which I really believe was situational, doc has change my Wellbutrin to 200 SR x 2, and is trying to add Depakote for sleep, as I have early wakings, and to get me off the Tranzene. I haven't liked what I've read about Depakote. He has tried me on Topamax, Neurontin and other anti-seizure meds to no effect. Seems he's a GABA man. What thinks ye?Well, I had a very low mood due to a difficult romantic relationship. It was causing me anxiety and I got diagnosed with a mood disorder. I was put on Prozac and Neurontin in May. The neurontin really makes me spacy so I am stopping taking it (today). I already feel a bunch better. I think sometimes we have to work though feelings due to circumstances beyond our control.
